Heh it was Dune vibes for me

A mentat named "Ripper"? Or do you mean those spacer union navigator guys?

Wrong - I started by responding to the original post. Others derailed the conversation into emotional grandstanding and virtue signaling. In your response to me, you made the claim that if a person is exposed to a certain consistent behavior from a young enough age they will exhibit the same behavi...

You're the one making the assertions ergo, you provide the proof. This is pretty simple and supported by the rules of this message board, so produce proof or get reported.

And you're an idiot who doesn't do his own research. Now do you have any of value to add to this thread or are you satisfied asking a stupid question and getting indignant when called on it?

Pot, meet kettle.

I'll throw that right back at ya. You're the one making the assertions ergo, you provide the proof.

Also, this is shit you could have easily googled. Normally, I give people the benefit of the doubt, but given your attitude in other threads, you should do your own work instead of being a smug little shit. Wow, you're an arrogant ass, aren't ya. This is a discussion forum is it not? Try taking you...

Nice armchair psychoanalysis there, but you've missed the point yet again. I neither hold myself up as a perfect example, nor do I expect everyone to be one. Children are taught and encouraged to respond to different things as they grow up, in addition to emulating those they see around them. If th...

You are missing the point completely - can you, or can you not, operate more effectively while crying and carrying on? Who has a higher level of function, a person who is bawling, or a person who remains composed? If you want to conduct an experiment, do something to induce heavy tearing in yoursel...

Scuttling the ship would have been easy. The problem is that nobody gave the order. Would Micheal or Saru have been in charge at the time ? They were in a contested area of space, and there was basically no reinforcements to be had at that point, so leaving the ship intact was basically inviting it...

Can you provide evidence that expressing one's emotion in the face of grief is unhealthier than not doing so? I never said that expressing emotion is bad. I only ever advocated for maintaining your composure. Do you not understand that you can feel extremely loss, heartache, and sadness, without cr...

With regards to pain management - I realize the location and causes will vary, but if some dentists can use some sort of electrical device to prevent pain during certain procedures, could something similar be employed for some patients? Of course, the down side is such patients would have to wear th...

So much is/ought confusion here. Let me explain; it IS the case that many people break down at a significant loss. I propose that we OUGHT not do that, as such breakdowns are neither productive, nor do they actually help in the mourning/recovery process. THAT IS ALL I'M SAYING! I am NOT saying that ...

Some things are beneficial in the short term that are detrimental in the long run. Losing a child to death is, mentally and emotionally, one of the worst things a human being can go through. It is not unknown for people to have complete mental breakdowns, cease functioning, engage in self-harm, or ...

It would certainly be wrong for someone one to impose their coping mechanism on you against your will or to your detriment. While appealing to a comforting lie may feel better in the short term, it is definitely harmful in the long term. The question is, do you value someone's short-term comfort ov...

If they aren't going to kill of Leia, how do you think they'll explain her absence from Ep 9?

I highly recommend "Restaurant to Another World" if you want something that's a bit more easy-going with lots of great "food porn". The "Archmagus' Bride" has started its actual series, but there are 3 prequel OVAs that give a lot of backstory about the female lead. You...

Did the female Klingon that returned to Voq, steal the raider ship from the other Klingon that "rescued them", or did they have them the whole time on T'Kuvma's ship? If they had them the whole time, then why not send out hunting parties to nearby systems, for food?

Star Trek Magazine drew my interest in the series. Their recent articles describe Lt Cmdr Burnham as a Vulcan-raised human who, due to her upbringing, suppresses her emotions to enforce logic; at her Vulcan adoptive parents' request, Capt Georgiou attempts to teach Burnham how to express herself mo...

Hoth was most likely an issue of them not being able to take the shield down without annihalating Echo Base, which would've made recovering Luke alive a tad bit complicated. Also their bombardment options were sort of limited to the ships they brought the largest of which was Executor But why that ...

Perhaps someone could clarify something for me - given the size of some of the larger ships, and given the line from TESB that the Hoth shield could "withstand any bombardment", how do we reconcile that these extremely large ships don't have shields of similar strength? I realize it may be...

Frankly, I'm surprised that devices which can "simulate" automatic fire, like bump stocks, were legal in the first place. I'm more impressed with the engineering behind them than any actual usefulness they may have... The distinction is mostly that they are external devices attached to th...

I'd say being able to act rationally after such a tragegy would be a bigger red flag then irrationally trying to look for a purpose where there is none So you think being able to keep a level-head after a tragedy is a bad thing? That raises a red flag... there's a difference at "keeping a leve...
